The salt doesn't evaporate. Only the water vapor does. look up a solar still to see exacly how it works.

a percentage of rain contains salt. it is a small percentage though.
As most evaporation occurs at sea the salt remains in the surrounding water that does not evaporate. the volume of salt to water does not change provided the sea/ocean is big enough.

Only the water evaporates. The salt (and other minerals) are left behind. It's kinda like a distillation process âº

during evaporates process every mineral like salt is turning back into solid state and falls back into the oceans because the weight of the minerals had devide it from the water which is continuing the process

The salt stays down.

It stays behind in the ocean, it never evaporates in the first place.
